Job description

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem. This type of work—work that changes the world is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you’re ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

The Hyperscale Line of Business builds and ships products to hyperscale customers at exabyte scale, with an emphasis on speed, reliability, and operational excellence. The Build Environments and Tools team owns developer productivity infrastructure related to build orchestration, build systems, and containerized build environments that engineers rely on daily to build and test software. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join this team and help build fast, reliable, and reproducible build infrastructure at scale. You’ll work hands‑on with build orchestration, build‑system internals, and containerized build environments — including large-scale C/C++ builds — while partnering with tech leads and engineers across the Hyperscale org to remove friction from everyday developer workflows.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, develop, and maintain build orchestration systems and tooling
• Drive improvements to build speed, reliability, reproducibility, debuggability, and ease of use across local development and CI workflows
• Own and evolve containerized build environments, ensuring consistent, isolated, and reproducible build images
• Work on large-scale C/C++ build challenges, including dependency pruning, and static/dynamic linking tradeoffs
• Diagnose and resolve build-graph correctness issues, flaky builds, and incremental-build regressions
• Partner with tech leads and the engineering manager to shape the team's technical roadmap for build systems and developer tooling
• Collaborate with teams across the Hyperscale Line of Business and broader engineering to understand pain points, prioritize fixes, and align tooling investments with product delivery needs
• Establish and uphold operational excellence practices for build infrastructure: observability, incident response, change management, and continuous improvement
• Use engineering metrics to track and improve build performance, reliability, and developer experience Mentor other engineers on the team and contribute to a culture of ownership, collaboration, and high technical standards

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU BRING

5+ years of software engineering experience, including experience in infrastructure, developer productivity, build systems, or platform engineering Strong understanding of modern build systems and toolchains – dependency management, build-graph correctness, incremental and reproducible builds, artifact generation, and build isolation Hands‑on experience with build systems and toolchains such as Make, CMake, Buck/Bazel or custom/in‑house build orchestration tools Experience with large‑scale C/C++ builds, including dependency pruning, static/dynamic linking tradeoffs, and reproducible containerized builds Hands‑on familiarity with Linux‑based development environments, Docker, and the operational concerns of maintaining consistent build images and execution environments Experience with CI pipelines and integrating build tooling into continuous integration workflows Experience using engineering metrics to evaluate and improve build performance, reliability, and developer experience Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross‑functionally with adjacent platform teams
